Greeting in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As the coming of our Lord is almost at the corner, it is high time we Christians live up to our responsibility of being 'the salt and light' of the earth. sweeten and preserve the world from decay. Preach the gospel like never before, add taste to the tasteless, bitter wicked world. love you neighbour practically. Brighten the corner where you are. Let your presence scare unbelievers from perpetrating their wickedness but rather make them desire to belong to the Lord. Let people see Jesus in your language, attitudes, behaviour, dressing, comportment and general lifestyle. If you love the Lord then be the 'salt and light' in your little corner. God bless you

^^^^ Easier said than done. Christians have had a hefty part of two millenia to do what you are asking them to do now and they have so far failed. That alone should tell you that something is fundamentally wrong with the doctrine.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the doctrine. For the fact that the command has not been carried out as it should since the last 2000 years is an index that it is a sound doctrine. If there was anything wrong with the doctrine, it would have thrived because the devil facilitates the spreading of false doctrines. He normally fights doctrines like the one in question. He has succeeded in making the Christians to be busy with other things like criticism, fault finding, jealousy and envy and a host of other things. In fact, some Christians are even busy with good things to the neglect of this important injunction. Contrary to your belief, we Christians are still the light and salt of the world. A lot of Christians are adding flavour and preserving the communities in their little corners. A good number are still brightening their corners. I assure you that the devil has failed and will continue to fail. He may be laughing today, but we Christians will laugh at last. God bless you.
